Heritage Open Day

Summary

Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre invites you to attend our Heritage Open Day, running as part of a wider, national campaign. Discover this important heritage site in the heart of Leicestershire and uncover the story of two of our most famous monarchs.

Explore our award-winning exhibition where you can learn what lead up to the battle, what happened on that fateful day in August 1485, and what the aftermath was like.
